Description Lubos Lunak 2009-10-23 10:12:16 UTC

The KDE team would like to have the following entries added to the 11.2 release notes:

=================
KDE

Default Web Browser

The default browser in KDE in openSUSE 11.2 is Firefox, with KDE integration. Users who wish to revert back to the KDE default of using Konqueror can go to KDE configuration (applications menu, 'Configure desktop'), the 'Default Applications' configuration module, select 'Web Browser' and change the radio button back to 'in an application based on the contents of the URL'. Desktop and panel Firefox icons can be replaced by deleting the Firefox icons and dragging the Konqueror icon from the applications menu to their place.

KDE3

KDE3 is no longer officially shipped with openSUSE 11.2, KDE4 is provided as the only supported KDE version. For details about KDE3 on openSUSE and the possibility of installing it from an unsupported repository go to http://en.opensuse.org/KDE3 .

Strigi/Nepomuk
The Strigi indexing service and Nepomuk semantic desktop service are not enabled by default in KDE in openSUSE 11.2. To explicitly enable them go to KDE configuration (applications menu, 'Configure desktop'), the 'Advanced' tab, and in the 'Desktop Search' configuration module enable the services you wish to run.

This is my proposal:

     <para>
Firefox with special settings is now the KDE default browser in openSUSE.
Users who want to prefer Konqueror as the KDE default browser can configure KDE
accordingly (applications menu > 'Configure desktop').  There in the 'Default
Applications' configuration module, select 'Web Browser' and change the radio
button back to 'in an application based on the contents of the URL'. Desktop
and panel Firefox icons can be replaced by deleting the Firefox icons and
dragging the Konqueror icon from the applications menu to their place.

Comment 3 Will Stephenson 2009-11-01 13:23:00 UTC

Can you add this too?
"
PulseAudio and sound in GNOME applications

KDE installations of openSUSE 11.2 do not install PulseAudio by default.  PulseAudio will be installed automatically if an application which requires it is installed, but it must still be enabled in YaST to hear sound in these applications.  To enable PulseAudio in YaST, open the YaST Sound Module, click 'Other' and then 'PulseAudio Configuration', then check 'Enable PulseAudio Support'.

Thanks for the additional info!

Comment 5 Karl Eichwalder 2009-11-10 09:38:21 UTC

I'll add this snippet:
